    Worthwhile developing in PHP 5?

    Hi all,

    I am about to begin a new project and am deciding whether to begin in
    PHP5 with the beta release or stick to the current 4.x production release?

    I am expecting to have the system launched in approx 4 months and
    wouldnt be surprised if PHP5 final is out....

    Which way do i go and why?

    thanks heaps! :)

      Do you need any of the functionality PHP5 will provide?

      I suspect the development of PHP5 is suffering from "Second System
      Syndrome":
      (http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms...em_effect.html) So I
      would be very cautious!

          Hi Andre,

          I am quite confident I will be able to complete the project with the
          functionality 4.X provides. I think what concerns me more is the speed,
          overhead and potential scalability. I should have made myself more clear
          before :/

          That was an interesting point you raised of Second System Syndrome... I
          havent heard anyone raise concerns of this in PHP5 but I hope it is not
          the case :/

          Cheers,
          Nima :)

              Well, you will benefit from any speed and/or scalability improvements from
              PHP5 as soon as it's released. you may want to make sure that you will be
              compatible with PHP5, for the most part this shouldn't be a problem, but I
              would be careful with OO...

                  Stick with PHP4 then. It's plenty fast enough in most circumstances.

                  I think André's remark hit it right on the nail. PHP5 is bloated and
                  promotes bloatedness.
